Our Name

A number of people have asked us over the years: why “Social Studies?”

Sure, it’s a play on words, After all, we are a company that specializes in using “social” media content to conduct in-depth studies, research, and analysis of audiences and individuals.

You may think of social studies as a subject you took in junior high, but it’s not just class after lunch. It’s a way of viewing our world, exploring and uncovering insights in the immense number of human interactions online to reveal preferences, cultural relevance, trends, patterns and context.

And don’t minimize the challenge of separation the real conversations from the bot and the marketer conversations.
